DEALER ALERT OMVIC CPD PROPOSED TO COST $99

As UCDA Members know, OMVIC plans to launch an education requirement on renewal next year for all dealers and salespeople. Those registrants, who are not grandfathered, will take an online course called Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

You will have recently seen an OMVIC Bulletin announcing they intend to charge $99 for dealers (every year) and salespeople (every two) to take CPD.

OMVIC are inviting you to make submissions on this proposal by October 8, 2025 at:

This was the UCDA’s submission:

 “Without knowing what OMVIC’s costs are for developing, delivering and administering the CPD Program, it is impossible to comment on whether a $99 fee is fair or reasonable. To us it seems very high, and it gives little comfort to hear OMVIC suggest it compares favourably with other regulated professions, assuming that is even accurate. The Law Society of Ontario has had CPD for years and charges its members $0.”
